Did you have to thin it much to get it to spray with the 2.5mm spray tip?

This is friggin' encouraging. Did you add hardener and wax to your last spray of laminating gelcoat? Or did you just buy the Finishing Gelcoat which has the hardener and wax already in it? I hope you consider this a dissection of your thread, rather than a diversion from it. Really...

Dude !!! I heard you could not gel coat over SMC? So can you gel coat over the Total Boat Epoxy Primer? The ski looks amazing. It is apparent that you really thought out your project, so I want to know. How long has it been since you gel coated it? And how is it holding up? I would really...

Thank you for posting all those photos. Your work is quite clever.

Excellent photos! I see what you did, you just moved the pole bracket "L" brackets to the outside of the Round Nose Pole Bracket. Very clever indeed!!!

Wow! Fantastic. It looks like you remounted the attachment points to the pole bracket too? I am very interested in this since I have a SN SJ hull and have the opportunity to reinforce it now. Also, my 2019 RN SJ has the same wrap that your SN does. So, I get whiplash every time I look at...

I really like the idea of the angle. Did the warp pull out as you tightened the machine screws? Hey, not only do I like that Watercraft Factory nose piece (just put it in my cart), but is that a oem or aftermarket hood?

If you decide to sell it as is and decide to sell the parts in your attic, I am building a 1990 SN bare hull and need everything but the pole, hood, hull and engine. Compare the price of your modded SN with this modded SN...

Like @WFO Speedracer says, it is very well priced. (In fact, suspiciously well priced.) And it is very clean. Cleaner than the 1995 FX-1 which I bought. Which is very rare indeed for a ski that only 1,500 were made. And were only made in 1994 and 1995. I bought my 1995 FX-1 from Minnesota...

Speaking of Vee's. Maybe this was why the hull was abandoned. A crack in the bottom hull which goes to the inside of the hull near the port side bond line: I would assume that the correct fix would be to Vee the entire crack on both sides; drill a series of ~1/8" holes ~1 1/4"...

@kevbo Is this what you are thinking at the tray floor to tray walls to increase radius? I can wet out the S-glass, place the glass balloon/putty mixture in the corners, lay the S-glass on top, then use maybe a 3/4" PVC pipe to pressure the corner to create the radius? @WFO Speedracer Your...

I don't understand this part of your post. Would you mind explaining a little more? When reinforcing the tray, I assume that reinforcement material must be bent up the bulkhead on the tray side and also somehow bent up the sides near the bulkhead on the tray side. I will also look for photos...

I was given a 1990 SN SJ bare hull with stock pole and hood. Since the hull is bare, I would like to reinforce it now for the surf. I would like to have a ski which I am not afraid to break. But with that attitude, I had better reinforce it now . . .

Thanks BK! I started a conversation. Hopefully they will also see this thread.

Thanks BK, I looked on their youtube channel, went to their website and saw nothing. Plus under the video they only link the bulk fabric not the pre-cut fabric. I also went to Jared's JetSkiAddict youtube channel and he does not mention it. Anyone know how to get a hold of Jared?

RSKI riders has a surf ski super jet fiberglass reinforcement video which shows a laser cut chopped strand and S-glass kit for to reinforce a super jet hull. Does anyone know where I could get something like that? Or does anyone have a template which I could lay over my fabric to cut out the...

Well initially, in September 2024 when my wife skied the ski in it sounded to me like it was a top end problem with the engine. Not a deep bell sound, but a top end sound. So, I pulled the engine. And I spun the midshaft coupler and it was smooth and it spun the impeller just fine. So, I...

See that sand? It's not sand. A magnet proves that those are metal filings. The splines inside the midshaft are gone. It is smooth. But the midshaft bearing spins smoothly. So can the housing be rebuilt with a new intermediate shaft?

@WFO Speedracer then gladly I am doing my job! My highest function on any forum is to ask the stupid questions , , ,

Question: The jet pump is out and When I spin the drive shaft, the Impeller (item 39) spins BUT the fan in this housing below DOES NOT SPIN. Is it supposed to spin when the Impeller (item 39) spins?
